An interesting question indeed. Can not answer on the pumping thing... But regarding #3: 3. Do you think pumping is suitable to face the named conditions or is a race foil charged with kinetic energy more effective? I think it depends on the course, as if it is offshore and you have to go upwind, th...

Basic nooby question. I have an old twin tip that I'm considering bolting a foil to. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work/ shouldn't be done? It's 138 x 41 I've never ridden a foil. Thanks It is a bit difficult to learn to ride a TT hydrofoil as board is small. Another issue could be, that it...

My Takuma mast came sealed from the factory but now it has water in it that I can't get out. Maybe a fluke or maybe its not that easy to seal. This is exactly why I would love the idea I mentioned, having the mast sealed, but having a "vent plug" of some kind (like we know from windsurf boards mayb...

Trying to figure out if there are any benefits to a 111 mast when it comes to boosting. Have a 101 at the moment but am thinking of switching to 111. My foiling style is boosting and going fast, but I don’t want to give up and boost height for a longer mast. Any thoughts are appreciated I think som...

I still dont get it ? Why would you EVER want to tow a board ??? (your own board that is...) If you got it in a leash, and wind is too light to relaunch after a kite crash, you are way better off using the board to either sit on (no matter how small), or have your hand around the board when drifting...

I love boosting! I just rode my race wing in 24 knots tonight in flatwater on a 12m kite lmfao!!!! Got some sick air. Jumping between a mast length of 100 vs 110 cm will not make much difference at all....a race wing will help you b/c you can immediately increase your speed which puts that much mor...

There are no trends really, as far as I know... Many beginners chooses alu, as a lot cheaper, thus the 40 to 70 cm short ones are used often here. When you progress, you might keep it for low water riding, or go up to a 90 to 100 cm alumast. BUT, as the longer mast are usually not chosen by schools ...

BWD, what is "small temperature changes" ? If you mean the ones we experience often, maybe 25 °C (45 F) temperature span then you are right. As in your car it is maybe 25-26 °C (77-79 F), and the water right now in the winter here is 0 to 1 °C (32-34 F). In the summer, a hot car can get say 45 °C (1...
